4. Fixed Search in backend
5. Fixed icons of PDF, print and email
6. Added option what Joomla user group can edit books from frontend
7. Fixed bug with RSS
8. Checked compatibility with Joomla 3.5

Let's look at them in details.

1. Added protection against SQL-injection

SQL injection is a technique in which an attacker inserts malicious code into strings that are later passed to a database. In new version we've found vulnerabilities and added protection against them.

2. Added the ability to assign multiple authors to book

Now it's possible to connect book with two or more authors.

3. Added the ability to edit books from frontend

In new Book Library v. 3.5 it's even more comfortable to handle books via frontend. To existing options for books management (add/delete/publish/unpublish/rent/return from rent) were added ability to edit own books from frontend area. So users, moderators and administrators can easily manage books and requests without entering the administration panel.

4. Fixed Search in backend

After upgrading to Joomla 3.5, there were slight issues with backend Search. We've checked all Search fields and corrected wrong ones.

Other improvements in Book Library v.3.6 includes views of PDF, print and email icons, fixing bug with RSS and adding access option for editing books from frontend.
